review 1: This volume has everything you've ever wanted to know about famous choreographer (and actor) Bob Fosse. Still known for his distinctive style and thru the movie "All That Jazz," Fosse led a remarkable life. He was the epitome of a narcissistic, brilliant, charismatic, but ultimately troubled artist. I don't generally read biographies but I found this one fascinating (if a bit overfull of details). Amazing guy.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book - I had no idea how many of my favorite musicals he had a hand in. The book was very readable, with lots of facts and research. It fell short of a 5 because it may have been too much. At about 700 pages, it felt like a very dense book, with no stone- I mean NO stone - unturned in how each show was done from the init... moreial conception, to getting the right writer/ composer/ director/ producer/ stars and venu - more than most ardent fans would want to know. less
